After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

725 Angering Old Man Xia to Death

After Xiaobei and the others finished eating, Qiao Mei also gave them a jar of pickled cucumbers each. In any case, there were a lot of pickled cucumbers in the storeroom. She could just marinate a new batch later.

The soldiers were all very happy and clamored to hurry back to show off to their comrades in the other teams. Such delicious food was very rare and they would never share it with those who did not have it.

Let those guys crave for it!

After sending the soldiers off, Qiao Mei called home by dialing the number that Xia Zhe had given her. After two beeps, someone picked up the phone.

“Hello, this is the Xia family residence. What can I do for you?” the nanny, Auntie Xie, said politely.

“Auntie Xie! I’m Qiao Mei!” Qiao Mei said.

When she heard Auntie Xie’s voice, she felt a sense of warmth. Back when she lived with Xu Lan, Auntie Xie was the one who interacted with her the most. Auntie Xie took care of the family’s meals and daily necessities, and she had even learned many cooking techniques from Qiao Mei.

“Qiao Mei! Wait! I’ll go look for Sister Xu now.” Auntie Xie quickly ran upstairs to the dance studio to look for Xu Lan.

Although Xu Lan had already retired, Xia Mao had specially converted a room into a dance studio for Xu Lan when he was renovating the house.

Although he did not say anything, he silently did everything he wanted to do. This might be how Xia Mao expressed his love.

“Sister Xu! Qiao Mei called! Qiao Mei called!” Auntie Xie shouted.

Xu Lan quickly covered herself with a blanket and came out of the room. She did not even bother to change out of her dancing shoes. As long as something was related to Qiao Mei, it was a top priority.

“Hello, Mei Mei. Why are you calling me? Did you go to the village office to call me so late at night?” Xu Lan asked worriedly.

She did not know what it was like in the village. It was only when Xia Wen told Xu Lan everything that he had investigated that Xu Lan found out only the village office had a phone.

“I’ve set up a phone line and installed a phone. In the future, I’ll be able to call you from home. I just need to make payment to the village office later. It’s very convenient,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

When Xu Lan heard this news, she almost cheered happily. This meant that she could call Qiao Mei often. This was really a good thing.

If not for the fact that everyone at home had been busy recently, she would ask them to come back to celebrate!

“Mother, I want to ask you for the phone numbers to call grandfather and youngest aunt. I just set up the phone and I don’t know their numbers,” Qiao Mei said.

Ever since she came back, she had not written to Xia Fang yet. Xia Fang was the first person who treated her well when she went to the capital and she liked Xia Fang very much.

After taking down all the phone numbers, they started chatting about family matters and only hung up reluctantly late at night.

Qiao Qiang clicked his tongue a few times at the side and Qiao Mei heard everything clearly. She had not said a word to Qiao Qiang all night. It seemed that he was jealous.

“Grandfather, are you unhappy? Tell me about it and get it off your chest!” Qiao Mei said as she patted Qiao Qiang’s leg.

“What can I be unhappy about? You’ve been busy with work all night and it’s a long-distance business. How would I dare to disturb you?” Qiao Qiang said as he picked up the newspaper.

He was holding the newspaper upside down, yet he still pretended to be reading it!

“I was just informing my mother-in-law about the phone and we ended up talking until now,” Qiao Mei said embarrassedly.

Qiao Qiang was still a little dissatisfied with Xu Lan. In those days, when Xia Mao and Xu Lan got married, he even attended their wedding. At that time, he felt that Xu Lan was arrogant and not an easy person to get along with.

At that time, it had nothing to do with him, so he did not care. However, after Qiao Mei married into their family, she even had to suffer when she first met Xu Lan. Qiao Mei had never suffered any grievances when she grew up under his care for so many years.

Xu Lan actually gave Qiao Mei a hard time just because she was from the countryside. Although Xu Lan had nothing to do with Qiao Mei’s fake miscarriage, if Xu Lan had cared about Qiao Mei earlier, the He family would not have been able to take advantage of the situation!

When Qiao Mei went to the capital to give birth in the near future, he would have to follow her there. At that time, he would settle the score with Old Man Xia. His precious granddaughter had gotten into such a big mess under Xia Jun’s hands, so that old brother of his must give him an explanation.

Otherwise, he would take Xia Jun’s eldest great-grandson away and raise the boy in the village! He would anger that old man to death!

He wanted to see if he still dared to treat Qiao Mei badly and let her suffer in the capital!
